WELCOME TO THE HOME OF CYCLING
Making a mark on history... Making a mark on cycling fans... And making an indelible mark on cycling, an integral part of the lifeblood of the Swiss cantons of Vaud and Valais... The 2020 UCI Road World Championships will take place in Aigle-Martigny, Switzerland, on 20-27 September. Our country is tremendously proud to be hosting one of the highlights of the cycling season, an event symbolised by the legendary rainbow jersey and which comes as recognition for Switzerland. Though this is the first time that Vaud and Valais will be hosting the UCI Road World Championships, there is a very good reason why it is coming to this part of the world. Cycling is king in the region. Ride around these two cantons and you’ll dive deep into a unique culture, discover landscapes that will take your breath away, pass through charming mountain villages and climb up to some of the world’s best-known ski resorts. You’ll also savour delicious local produce. From Aigle to Martigny and from Lausanne to Verbier, the 2020 UCI Road World Championships promise to be a unique experience. Vaud and Valais have provided the venue for many Elite races in the past, among them stages of the 2009 and 2016 Tour de France, the 2016 Swiss Championships and every year stages of the Tour de Romandie and the Tour de Suisse. Known around the world for the warmth of its welcome, its expertise and authenticity, Switzerland has hosted many major sporting events, such as the Ice Hockey World Championships, the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, the Alpine Ski World Cup and the Winter Youth Olympic Games. Situated in the heart of the Alps and Europe, Aigle-Martigny 2020 enjoys excellent transport links. The international airports of Genève-Cointrin and Zürich-Kloten link Switzerland to the rest of world, with Basel, Paris and Milan all just a short journey away. Aigle, in the canton of Vaud, is home to the UCI World Cycling Centre (UCI WCC), which also houses the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the governing body of world cycling. Most of the races will start in this town where tradition and modernity happily coexist in a natural setting and where viticulture is very much to the fore. Martigny, in the heart of Valais, will provide the venue for the final circuit of the road races. A town steeped in sport, art and culture, it plays host to a number of international events such as Agrovina and the Valais Fair (Foire du Valais), which last year attracted no fewer than 420 exhibitors and 233,779 visitors. Over the course of eight days of racing, the world will discover some magnificent landscapes, showcased by some technically challenging courses. The races in each category and discipline will wind their way through plains, vineyards and mountains. The climb up the imposing Petite Forclaz, which runs for four kilometres and boasts an elevation gain of 406 metres and an average incline of 10.2%, promises to decide the men’s and women’s road races, across each category. The Men Elite will have to negotiate it seven times, the Men Under 23 five times, the Women Elite and Men Junior three times and the Women Junior once. Some 650,000 spectators will be roadside to cheer the riders on over the course of the week. “We had Sallanches in 1980. And now we have Aigle-Martigny in 2020,” said UCI President David Lappartient. Welcome to our place, in the heart of the home of cycling.

MARTIGNY, IN THE HEART OF THE VALAIS ALPS A town of art and culture, Martigny stages a whole host of events all year round, including Agrovina, the Festival of Five Continents, the Folklore Festival, the Valais Fair and Le Combat de Reines, where cow-fighting is the order of the day. Home to exhibitions, a car museum, a sculpture park and a Gallo-Roman museum too, the Fondation Pierre Gianadda is a must for visitors, as is the Barryland Museum, which pays tribute to the legendary St Bernard, the dog that symbolises the canton of Valais. Surrounded by vineyards and fruit trees bearing Valais’ famous apricots and William pears, Martigny is a place where the way of life in the shade of its ancient plane trees is nothing but authentic. www.martigny.ch
VAUD, A LAND OF CYCLING With its sheer variety of landscapes, the canton of Vaud offers a warm welcome to cyclists of all abilities. Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva, and Yverdon-les-Bains, on the banks of Lake Neuchâtel, provide the perfect starting points for trips into Vaud’s Alpine peaks and the Jura Mountains, while the surrounding countryside and wine trails are ideal for recreational cycling. A medieval wine-making town that is home to the UCI World Cycling Centre, where the UCI has its headquarters, Aigle lies within easy reach of the ski resorts of Leysin-Col des Mosses, Les Diablerets, Villars-Gryon and Château-d’Oex/ Pays-d’Enhaut. www.region-du-leman.ch
AIGLE: HERITAGE, VINEYARDS AND CYCLING With its heritage, vineyards and boundless love for cycling, symbolised by the UCI WCC, Aigle is an unassuming town with a great deal going for it and a real joie de vivre. Its oldest buildings date to the 12th century and are dotted around the delightful walled castle, the town’s main historical building. Wine lovers can sample the joys of five Chablais appellations, with more than 50 winemakers producing quality wines. They are responsible for some well-known grands crus, made, among other grapes, from chasselas, a variety this part of the world is known for. Held every June, the international wine competition Le Mondial du Chasselas is a well-known showcase of the region’s wine-making expertise. www.aigle-leysin-lesmosses.ch
